Is it possible to carry a child in the front seat?

Today there are cars in almost everyfamily. When purchasing a vehicle, young parents must follow basic safety rules that will save their lives. Often adults ask the question: "Is it possible to carry the child in the front seat?" The new rules for the carriage of children under 12 years old allow babies to travel in the front seat only in a special car seat, which must correspond to the height and weight of the child. At the same time, when your child is sitting in front, it is imperative to disable the airbag. It can get in the way of an accident and lead to tragedy. Choosing a car seat can be taken seriously. Different models are needed for newborns and adolescents. So, passengers from 6 years old can travel not only in a car seat, but also in a booster that does not have a backrest. And newborns should be comfortable, like in a cradle, so for very small passengers, you should choose with a carrier and a handle. At the same time, many studies show that the majority of injuries during road traffic accidents are suffered by the child in the front seat. By the way, the safest passenger seat is not behind the driver, but in the center.
